Illegal charged in officer’s death was twice deported what excuse will be made for him by his supporters?

June 3rd, 2011 2 comments

The suspected drunken driver accused of killing a Houston Police officer on Sunday is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who twice tried to lie his way into the United States by claiming to be a U.S. citizen, records show.

Johoan Rodriguez, 26, is accused of driving through police blockages on the 610 North Loop freeway where officers were investigating an accident and striking HPD Officer Kevin Will. Prosecutors said Will, 38, was killed instantly, and his body was dragged along the freeway. Police found a small bag containing of cocaine in Rodriguez’s pocket and preliminary blood tests showed his blood alcohol content was .238 — nearly three times the legal limit, officials said.

When Rodriguez was questioned by police, he seemed disoriented and intoxicated, Harris County Assistant District Attorney Beth Shipley said at Rodriguez’s probable cause hearing.

"He could not tell the officer anything about the crash, and claimed he did not remember being in a crash," Shipley said.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Gregory Palmore said today that Rodriguez is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was deported in 2005 and 2006.

Federal court records show that Rodriguez tried to enter the U.S. through the Brownsville Port of Entry by falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen on Dec. 29, 2005. Just days after he was deported back to Mexico, he tried again to get in, this time through the Hidalgo Port of Entry, records show. He again claimed to be a U.S. citizen, born in Houston, and showed a Texas driver’s license to support his claim, according to records.

Rodriguez is being held without bail on three felony counts of intoxication manslaughter, evading arrest and drug possession. Immigration officials have filed paperwork to detain Rodriguez if he is released from local custody.

Will’s death is the latest in a string of incidents involving illegal immigrants that have resulted in serious injury or death for Houston police officers. Gary Blankinship, president of the Houston Police Officer’s Association, said rank-and-file union members were "outraged" by Will’s death at the hands of an immigrant who had been previously deported.

"Well, it’s dejavu," he said. "…I’m not too sure what the answer is, but it’s certainly disheartening when you keep seeing police officers killed in the line of duty by illegal aliens.“

In September 2006, Houston Police Officer Rodney Johnson was shot and killed by Juan Leonardo Quintero, an illegal immigrant from Mexico he had arrested during a traffic stop. Quintero had been deported once before after charges of indecency with a child and said he shot Johnson because he was "scared" after he was arrested. Quintero was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison.

His death and a personal crusade by his widow, HPD Sgt. Joslyn Johnson, fueled calls for greater local police involvement in immigration enforcement.

"I just wish our government would take the initiative and do something about this," Joslyn Johnson said on Tuesday.

On March 5, 2009, Wilfredo Alfaro, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, shot Houston Police Officer Rick Salter with a Glock pistol as officers broke through the door at his home on East Avenue O. Alfaro was ordered out of the U.S. by an immigration judge in March 2001, returned illegally and was arrested three times before the shooting.

How can illegals be law abiding illegals,so the word illegal really does not mean illegal ? Every day illegals drive on our roads, driving without licenses and insurance. Every day illegals will be using fake or stolen documents for their employment. Seems activists discount fraud or fake documents are excused as long as it is for a better life, certain laws can be broken by illegals, that would have regular citizens sitting in jail. I didn’t know when I joined the military and served my country, that said country would become the land of lawlessness, just like the country they left. Greed, corruption, lying, stealing, cheating, skipping out on paying bills are accepted aspects of life, as long as illegals obtain a better life.Many laws are ignored to advance the cause of illegals. Now illegals doing the above are considered law abiding citizens

Obama I said let the illegals go free but Fed agents frustrated by judges’ immigration decisions?

In March, Jose Manuel Gonzalez-Sandoval — who had committed serious crimes in the United States since 1998 — stood before Florence, Ariz., Immigration Judge Bruce Taylor on a deportation hearing. That day the judge canceled his removal proceedings, allowing him to stay in the United States.

Four months later, Sandoval was arrested again on an outstanding warrant but was released. Three days after that release he led police on a 100 mph car chase. Then in August, in response to a 911 call from his family, he shot at Arizona deputies who came to his home. That night, he escaped. He later turned himself into authorities after they began a public manhunt for him.

Sandoval, who had resident status, is only one example of a legal system that lacks working mechanisms for deporting criminal aliens, said Rep. Ted Poe, a Texas Republican and former judge.

“The federal government has the responsibility, the moral duty to send these criminal aliens back where they came from after they do their prison time and before they commit more crimes,” said Poe, who is co-chair of the Victims’ Rights Caucus. He said both the Obama and Bush administrations handled the issue ineffectively, hiding facts from the American people and “sugar-coating” the truth regarding the deportation of criminal aliens.

This month, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency announced that the Obama administration is planning to dismiss thousands of illegal alien deportation cases, possibly 17,000, if the immigrants have a potential path to legal residency or overstayed their visas.

But critics say many illegal aliens with long criminal records composed of what some courts consider to be lesser charges will see their deportation cases dismissed as well. They cite Sandoval as an example.

“The system is skewed to release these criminals,” said Poe, a former judge. He recalled many times he saw repeat criminal offenders back in his courtroom after issuing detainers, which required the federal government to deport them after they served their U.S. sentences.

“The detainers don’t work, because we either don’t have enough federal agents, the administration doesn’t make it a priority and there isn’t any accountability when alien criminals are released back into society,” Poe said.

ICE, Border Patrol and local law enforcement officers told The Washington Examiner that law enforcement agencies are frustrated by the judicial system’s approach to handling immigrants charged with crimes.

“In the case of Sandoval, ICE did the right thing,” said a federal official who spoke on the condition that he not be named. “They checked his long criminal history, he had two or more crimes involving morale turpitude and should have been deported and had his residency taken away. What does the administration have to say about this? He’s only one of thousands of bad guys that get away with this.”

Said an ICE agent: “What can we do when immigration judges are granted this huge discretionary authority? There is no oversight. This case could have resulted in the death of a police officer.”

Kathryn Mattingly, with the Executive Office for Immigration Reform, said, “The Office of the Chief Immigration Judge regularly monitors immigration judge performance and conduct through EOIR’s performance management program and through its daily supervision of the courts.”

She said that in “instances where concerns regarding an immigration judge’s conduct arise … any allegations are investigated and resolved in a fair and expeditious manner,” adding that “such investigations could include scenarios where an immigration judge consistently makes ill-advised decisions.”

Sandoval’s Department of Homeland Security arrest record history was obtained by The Examiner.

He had used an alias, Samuel Mendoza, and as early as 1998 he had been arrested for damage to private property and simple assault. Since then he has been arrested for drunken driving, drug charges multiple aggravated assaults, multiple endangerment charges and use of a deadly weapon. In many cases, he was not prosecuted, simply fined and released, according to the documents.

The federal law governing criminal immigrants states that “if you have been convicted of two crimes involving moral turpitude not arising out of a single scheme of criminal misconduct,” you are supposed to be deported.

However, judges have repeatedly used their own discretion not to deport him.

“There is no legal liability on the part of the judge, and you can’t charge a judge for using their discretion,” Poe said. “The judge is morally responsible to follow through with the law because if someone is killed or injured, the blood is on the judge’s hands.

Hussein Obama is the worst disaster that has ever happen to this great nation, and needs to be impeached, NOW!

If he is reelected I would not be able to write this, because he will destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights because they get in his way of doing what he wants to do to much.

Can you believe this another sanctuary city leads to the injustice of an illegal alien killing an innocence?

When a Kenosha County woman was killed on Memorial Day one thing was clear, it was completely preventable. AS FOX6 began investigating to find out who could have prevented it, we faced a flurry of finger pointing. No one wanted to take responsibility, and no one close to the case would talk on camera.

If you could sketch a love story and put a face on it, a portrait of teenage sweethearts would appear. It was a love so deep, fulfilling, and complete that losing it would be like losing the air from young lungs.

One man who never should have been where he was could destroy the soul of a family. Jorge Dominguez is an illegal immigrant with an arrest record, and no license to drive. Police caught him two hours after the crash that killed Dawn Glogovsky. Dominguez fled from the scene of the accident.If you think this is about the injustice of an illegal immigrant killing an innocent woman, it’s worse than that. In 2008 Dominguez’ wife called Burlington Police afraid he was going to kill her. FOX6 Anchor Brad Hicks asked her what she told police that night she said, "He was illegal that he was illegally in the United States."

The Burlington Police Department notified Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE), but Dominguez didn’t show up in the federal database. So a few days after the incident Dominguez was back on the streets.

It didn’t take long for him to be back in a cell at the Burlington Police Station. Over the next six months he was cited, arrested, questioned, fingerprinted. He became a familiar face to law enforcement, but ICE and police never put two and two together.

Kim Gebauer, sister of Dawn Glogovsky, said, "There were so many opportunities to remove this person from the county, to make sure he didn’t continue to create havoc wherever he went."

Jorge Dominguez was arrested again in Racine County in May of 2009, and that time ICE slapped an immigration detainer on him. He was finally caught and his days in the US were numbered, but something that ultimately led to the death of Dawn Glogovsky happened.

Cook County in Illinois staked a claim on Dominguez. They wanted to see him extradited for an old drug charge before he was deported. On July 4th the Racine County Jail sent a communication to Cook County advising them Jorge Dominguez was illegal, and had an immigration hold from ICE.

Former Waukesha District Attorney Paul Bucher knows how the system works. He said, "They’re telling them, place a hold on this subject when you pick him up from our jail. ICE wants him."

Three days later an internal memo says Cook County called, aware Dominguez was on a detainer, and requested it. A faxed copy confirmed on July 7th the detainer was sent to the Cook County Sheriff’s 24-hour lockup in Maywood. Their job was to notify ICE before he could be released.

Two days later Jorge Dominguez walked out of the Cook County lock up a free man, ICE was never informed.

According to ICE, and the State Attorney’s Office in Illinois the Sheriff’s Department in Cook County is responsible. Bucher says, "He’s in the system, and they’re part of the system. Therefore they’re responsible to notify."

The Cook County Sheriff’s Department claims it never received a detainer for Dominguez, and never requested one either.

The Sheriff’s Spokesman says, "There was no detainer here…so there is nothing to investigate."

What they can’t or won’t explain, aside form the Racine teletype notifying them Dominguez was illegal, the internal memo at ICE that says Cook County called for the detainer, and the copy of the faxed detainer itself, is that in the Cook County court file for Jorge Dominguez is the immigration detain the Sheriff’s Department swears never existed.

The day after it was sent to the Sheriff’s 24 hour lockup in Maywood where Dominguez was being held, the detainer was still in Cook County. It was faxed again by the courthouse warrant clerk. Dawn’s Husband Frank Glogovsky says, "They knew he was an illegal alien, and they didn’t do anything. And I know if they would have, she would still be here."

Glogovsky’s Attorney Jim Gatske believes it was no mistake, and that reckless indifference was to blame. He says, "They had made a decision at some point that immigration issues were not something they were going to be worried about enforcing."

Cook was the first county in the country to declare itself an official sanctuary, a place where police are not allowed to ask about a person’s immigration status.

Can you believe this another sanctuary city leads to the injustice of an illegal alien killing an innocence woman ?

Mo. town outraged over killings, illegal immigrant
http://www.magicvalley.com/articles/2009/03/20/ap/us/d971tl300.txt
By JIM SALTER
HANNIBAL, Mo. – A Hannibal police officer was finishing up mundane paperwork on a quiet Saturday morning when Manuel Cazares walked into the station, blood splattered on his hands and shoes.

Cazares put his hands out, crossed them, and told the officer to arrest him.

"I killed two people," he allegedly said.

Details surrounding the allegations are far too common: an abusive relationship, a jilted lover, a sudden attack.

But some in this Mississippi River community of 17,000 best known as Mark Twain’s hometown aren’t just outraged by the violence. They also question why Cazares was in Hannibal at all.

Cazares admitted after his arrest that he is an illegal immigrant from the Mexican state of Michoacan. The 32-year-old had several run-ins with law enforcement before the homicides, but officials had never questioned his legal status.

Now he is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Feb. 28 deaths of his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Amanda Thomas, and 25-year-old Carl Patrick Epley.

"I don’t know how this happens," said Tina White-Masengill, Thomas’ sister. "My stepdad told police many times, ‘I don’t even think the guy’s a legal citizen.’"

During his three years in Hannibal, Cazares managed to avoid detection, despite a few traffic violations and a property damage conviction after an arrest for allegedly beating up Thomas and tearing up her home. Thomas had a restraining order against Cazares, who got probation in the property-damage case.

Police say his name wasn’t in a database maintained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Police and Cazares’ boss also say he had authentic-looking identification, including a Social Security card. And police noted that Cazares speaks fluent English.

Cazares’ attorney did not return phone messages seeking comment. Cazares is being held in lieu of $1 million bond.

Hannibal police declined several interview requests from The Associated Press, but said soon after the killing that they had received several angry calls, some with racial overtones.

Days after the killings, rocks were thrown through plate-glass windows at the Mexican restaurant where Cazares worked. The FBI decided against opening a hate-crime investigation after concluding that it was vandalism, not retaliation.

Hundreds of messages related to the case were posted on the Hannibal Courier-Post Web site, with several questioning why authorities hadn’t been able to determine Cazares’ legal status before. One suggested police should conduct raids to seek out other illegal immigrants.

"Of course we have folks who say that’s unconstitutional and racial profiling so we have to ignore the problem until this sort of terrible tragedy takes place," the posting read. The newspaper eventually took down the postings.

At a news conference, police Capt. James Hark told reporters that tracking illegal immigrants is a federal responsibility. He said the department is sympathetic to the victims’ families, "but, in retrospect, there’s nothing in the system that would have prevented this from happening."

ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said the agency seeks to work closely with local police to uncover illegal immigrants.

"When local law enforcement suspect that they have arrested an illegal alien on criminal charges, we encourage them to forward those suspicions to ICE, where we will make the appropriate determination whether that person is in the country legally or illegally, and whether he is deportable," Rusnok said.

The relationship between Cazares and Thomas had long been rocky, with Thomas seeking restraining orders in 2007 and again early last year. Marion County prosecutor Tom Redington said the first order was dismissed when Thomas failed to appear at a court hearing; the second was dismissed at her request.

Thomas made a third attempt around Thanksgiving and obtained a restraining order that was supposed to keep Cazares away from the small brick duplex where she lived with their 20-month-old son and a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Yet neighbors said they often saw Cazares in the area.

"We pulled up one night and he drives up the street with his car lights off and just sits there watching her house," said neighbor Charles Thomas, who is not related to the victim.

In early February, Thomas told police she thought Cazares was stalking her. White-Masengill said her sister played cell phone messages for police, including one in which he said, "No one can love you like I do."

Redington said he didn’t have Cazares arrested immediately because of the "on-again, off-again nature of their relationship." He asked Thomas to obtain records that would show that Cazares had been calling her, but she never got the records.

According to court records, Cazares offered the following a

This kind of thing happens fairly often in California. In fact, I live in the Napa Valley where we have a very large population of illegals picking the grapes. My town alone has a population of 40% Mexican and many of them are here illegally. One winery out of over 300 here will hire only legal Mexicans. The rest hire whoever they can get. So, trust me, I know and see exactly what your talking about. BTW, your question is a little long and the last sentence should be removed since it is incomplete.

How would you feel if this happened in your city,county or state with illegal immigrants?

Personally, I think the police should have the right to shoot the illegal where he stands. Send his dead rear end back to Mexico and let them bury him.

Personally I think we should have US troops stationed on the border and anyone who wants to come here illegally should be shot on sight.

If I want to visit another country I get a passport and do it legally. I expect no less from others.

Will La Raza offer free legal help claiming the police only stopped the SUV because there was Mexicans in it ?

March 12th, 2010 8 comments

HARRISONBURG — A man caught in Shenandoah County smuggling 10 illegal aliens in a small SUV will serve three years in prison.

Oliver Leonel Sanchez Ortiz, 23, of Mexico, was sentenced on Feb. 24 in U.S. District Court to 36 months in prison for transporting illegal aliens. U.S. District Judge Samuel G. Wilson placed him on supervised release for three years, according to online court records.

Sanchez Ortiz was sitting in the passenger seat of the Buick Rendezvous when a state trooper pulled it over on Interstate 81 south of Edinburg on Oct. 7, according to an affidavit filed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Souders said the trooper described the passengers as being "stuffed in there like a can of sardines."

"There were 11 of them in a Buick Rendezvous, and seat belts for five," Souders said. "There were at least three in the cargo area of the Rendezvous."

The ICE affidavit says that the 10 men were smuggled across the border at Arizona by a "coyote."

"Upon arrival in Arizona, another Coyote escorted the 10 to a house in Mesa, Arizona (the ‘Drop House’)," the statement says. "At the Drop House, the 10 were not free to leave until they paid the first half of the smuggling fee, which ranged from $1,000 to $1,400; they were locked inside the house while the Coyotes awaited payment."

Sanchez Ortiz then picked them up and headed toward New York, where another payment was to be made, according to the affidavit.

Large sums of money weren’t found on the smuggled men, Souders said, and the initial payments were mostly made by relatives. He said the government doesn’t have evidence directly connecting Sanchez Ortiz to a larger criminal organization.

An unpleasant smell was coming from the vehicle, according to Souders.

"The window was rolled down — I don’t even think it was rolled all the way down — there was a smell of body odor that was sort of permeating from the car that [the trooper] could smell from a foot or two away from the window," he said. "They had traveled over 2,200 miles, all in that vehicle. The trooper found what he believed to be plastic bottles filled with urine in the vehicle."

Souders said Wilson actually went above the voluntary sentencing guidelines when sentencing Sanchez Ortiz. The risk of death or serious bodily injury justified the greater punishment, he said.

According to online court records, 12 additional counts against Sanchez Ortiz were dropped as part of a plea agreement.

"The defendant had previously been removed from the country four times, but none was an official administrative removal or deportation," Souders said. "They were all from closer to the border."

Three of the men from the vehicle received sentences ranging from time served to 10 months in jail for illegal re-entry, according to court records.

"Human smuggling networks extend well beyond our borders into the interior of our country," John P. Torres, ICE special agent in charge in Washington, says in a news release from U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy’s office. "These smuggling organizations not only put those they are smuggling at risk, but also put the American public at risk."

What do U think of this JZ Mayor: Deportations hurting city?

February 24th, 2010 5 comments

(CNN) – The deportations of thousands of Mexicans who have served time in U.S. jails into Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, are adding a deadly ingredient into an already volatile state of security, Juarez Mayor Jose Reyes Ferriz told CNN.

A turf battle between rival drug cartels, and between authorities and cartels, have made Juarez one of the world’s most dangerous cities. There were 305 drug-related killings in August, making it the deadliest month yet, according to the mayor’s office.

Most of the recent violence has been committed by young street-level drug dealers who work for the Sinaloa or Juarez cartels, Reyes Ferriz said.

Adding tens of thousands of deportees from the United States, some with criminal records, worsens the situation, the mayor said.

In the past 45 days, 10 percent of those killed in Juarez had been deported from the United States in the past two years, Reyes Ferriz said.

"We don’t have the statistics to know if they were criminals from the United States or not," he told CNN’s Rick Sanchez this week. "We know they were deported from the U.S. Most of them come from U.S. jails. They end up in the city of Juarez, and that’s a problem generated for us, but also for the United States."

Most deportees are simply Mexicans who crossed the border illegally, but some hardened criminals get involved with the gangs, which have networks in the United States, Reyes Ferriz said.

But according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. agency that oversees deportations, the number of criminal deportees entering Juarez from El Paso, Texas, is not high.

"El Paso had the fewest removals among the other border areas" in fiscal 2008, ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said.

About 85,400 "criminal aliens" were deported from the United States to their homelands in 2008, according to ICE.

Of those deported through El Paso, about 6,800 were criminal aliens, Zamarripa said. Not all were Mexican, so not all left the United States by crossing into Juarez, she added.

By comparison, 11,400 criminal aliens were processed through San Antonio, Texas, via the nearby Laredo international bridges, and 11,000 criminal aliens were deported through San Diego, California.

The location of the deportation proceedings "depends on bed space and operational availability," Zamarripa said.

Reyes Ferriz wants deportees to be repatriated to the interior of Mexico instead of his city.

The Department of Homeland Security is running such a program, involving deportees from Phoenix, Arizona. The deportation flights from Arizona to Mexico are happening because it is a high-traffic area for illegal immigrants, and because that’s where the government of Mexico agreed to the program.

In a recent conversation, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the United States would work to give Juarez more details about who is being dropped off on its doorstep, Reyes Ferriz said.

The 2009 death toll in Juarez was 1,421 as of Monday, the mayor’s office said, on pace to beat last year’s 1,600 killings.

According to report released last week by a Mexican watchdog group, Juarez, population 1.5 million, was the homicide capital of the world. It had an estimated rate of 130 killings per 100,000 people.

By comparison, the homicide rate in New Orleans – by far the deadliest city in the United States in 2008 – was 64 homicides per 100,000 residents, based on preliminary FBI figures

That’s why the US needs to get rid of all these criminal aliens and illegal aliens. They’re lawbreakers! And they keep proving they are lawbreakers again and again wherever they are. They kill each other on the streets of the US, in jails, and on the streets of Mexico, etc.

The US has gone to a great deal of expense to remove many illegal aliens to the interior, per a deal with Mexico whereby US pays ALL of the costs, and Mexico limits numbers and destinations. Actually, in deportation, the US’s only obligation is to return them to any border crossing or airport for entry into their country, and has no further responsibility or liability for those who violate US immigration and/or other laws.

Mexico is simply playing "poor, poor pitiful me" games to hijack the pockets of the American taxpayer again (and again and again). Let them deal with their own bloody criminals. It is their problem and should be their problem since it is their citizens in their country which are violating their laws.

BTW, the murder rate in New Orleans is mostly due to the huge influx of illegal aliens who ran to N.O. post-Katrina in order to collect FEMA and other aid funds. Leeches, cons, criminals flooded in, and FEMA, N.O., et al, let them. Now they pay the price for not stopping these criminals years ago.

How many more tragedies like this need to occur before Americans finally hold illegal alien sanctuary cities r?

How many more tragedies like this need to occur before Americans finally hold illegal alien sanctuary cities responsible for their neglect?
Lord have mercy. One of the victims was a 3-year-old child enjoying ice cream at Baskin-Robbins:

As new questions arose about the man police say is responsible for the tragedy, several hundred friends and relatives gathered Saturday night outside an ice cream shop to mourn three lives suddenly lost.

“It hurts now,” said Vito Kudlis, surrounded by friends as he and his wife, Enely, wept for their 3-year-old son, Marten. “It is freaky. It is crazy.”

Marten, Patricia Guntharp, 49, of Centennial and Debra Serecky, 51, of Aurora all died when a Thursday night collision caused vehicles to careen into the Baskin-Robbins at the corner of South Havana Street and East Mississippi Avenue.

Saturday night, they were remembered in a candlelight vigil. Small children held glow sticks as others added stuffed animals — especially bears — to a memorial.

Francis Hernandez, the man being held for suspicion of vehicular homicide in the deaths, is now being detained by federal immigration officials.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials sent a faxed detainer on Hernandez, 23, at 12:04 a.m. Saturday, indicating his U.S. citizenship is under question, according to Arapahoe County jail officials and federal authorities.

Hernandez has been arrested 16 times in five years in Colorado but apparently has never been deported, according to Colorado Bureau of Investigation records.

We the People have the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The “sanctuary enablers” are denying us those liberties because they have chosen to disregard the laws of our country. Those enablers must be held responsible for their actions. If they are unwilling to uphold the laws they should be removed from office and considered as an accessory to this carnage.

Do you agree with advocates for illegals that these crimes never happened ?

Tony Bologna, 48, and his two sons, 20-year-old Michael and 16-year-old Matthew, were gunned down at an intersection in June. Police arrested Edwin Ramos, a native of El Salvador, who they say mistook the Bolognas for rival gang members.

Ramos has been charged with three counts of murder and is awaiting trial. He has pleaded not guilty.

The claim states that the city knew Ramos was a member of Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, with a violent past, but failed to report him as required by federal law to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

The claim alleges the city knew Ramos "would likely murder men simply because they appeared to be Latino or African American."

"When a city is violating federal law and that violation of law leads to horrific consequences like this, then the city has clearly acted in a negligent manner," said one of the Bologna’s attorneys, Kris Kobach, an immigration law professor at University of Missouri, Kansas City School of Law. http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_10279482?nclick_check=1

You’ll recall that Carranza was an illegal alien out on bail
on child abuse charges. Victim Dashon Harvey’s dad decried the sanctuary climate:This is one that slipped through the cracks. He’s an illegal alien,” said outraged dad James Harvey, whose son Dashon was murdered last Saturday, along with Terrance Aeriel and Iofemi Hightower.

While 28-year-old day laborer Jose Lachira Carranza was behind bars yesterday, prosecutors arrested a third suspect, who is 15 years old, in Morristown, and charged him with felony murder.

Another 15-year-old has also been charged.

Harvey said that Carranza, the alleged ringleader, “should never have been out in the first
place.”

“He’s got child abuse charges. He’s got a weapon. It’s an outrage to the justice system and the community that he’s out.”

The advocates for illegals are claiming these are all made up stories and no such events ever took place as every illegal is deported, do you agree Y/N/Unsure ?

Just like illegal aliens can not collect any government benefits because it is against the law. But then again if we take it a step further there are no illegal aliens because that is against the law. So to the final step: They didn’t happen as there are no illegal aliens in the US to break the law because that is against the law.
Pro-criminal logic! Isn’t it amazing!

How would you feel if this happened in your city,county or state with illegal immigrants?

Mo. town outraged over killings, illegal immigrant

By JIM SALTER
HANNIBAL, Mo. – A Hannibal police officer was finishing up mundane paperwork on a quiet Saturday morning when Manuel Cazares walked into the station, blood splattered on his hands and shoes.

Cazares put his hands out, crossed them, and told the officer to arrest him.

"I killed two people," he allegedly said.

Details surrounding the allegations are far too common: an abusive relationship, a jilted lover, a sudden attack.

But some in this Mississippi River community of 17,000 best known as Mark Twain’s hometown aren’t just outraged by the violence. They also question why Cazares was in Hannibal at all.

Cazares admitted after his arrest that he is an illegal immigrant from the Mexican state of Michoacan. The 32-year-old had several run-ins with law enforcement before the homicides, but officials had never questioned his legal status.

Now he is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Feb. 28 deaths of his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Amanda Thomas, and 25-year-old Carl Patrick Epley.

"I don’t know how this happens," said Tina White-Masengill, Thomas’ sister. "My stepdad told police many times, ‘I don’t even think the guy’s a legal citizen.’"

During his three years in Hannibal, Cazares managed to avoid detection, despite a few traffic violations and a property damage conviction after an arrest for allegedly beating up Thomas and tearing up her home. Thomas had a restraining order against Cazares, who got probation in the property-damage case.

Police say his name wasn’t in a database maintained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Police and Cazares’ boss also say he had authentic-looking identification, including a Social Security card. And police noted that Cazares speaks fluent English.

Cazares’ attorney did not return phone messages seeking comment. Cazares is being held in lieu of $1 million bond.

Hannibal police declined several interview requests from The Associated Press, but said soon after the killing that they had received several angry calls, some with racial overtones.

Days after the killings, rocks were thrown through plate-glass windows at the Mexican restaurant where Cazares worked. The FBI decided against opening a hate-crime investigation after concluding that it was vandalism, not retaliation.

Hundreds of messages related to the case were posted on the Hannibal Courier-Post Web site, with several questioning why authorities hadn’t been able to determine Cazares’ legal status before. One suggested police should conduct raids to seek out other illegal immigrants.

"Of course we have folks who say that’s unconstitutional and racial profiling so we have to ignore the problem until this sort of terrible tragedy takes place," the posting read. The newspaper eventually took down the postings.

At a news conference, police Capt. James Hark told reporters that tracking illegal immigrants is a federal responsibility. He said the department is sympathetic to the victims’ families, "but, in retrospect, there’s nothing in the system that would have prevented this from happening."

ICE spokesman Carl Rusnok said the agency seeks to work closely with local police to uncover illegal immigrants.

"When local law enforcement suspect that they have arrested an illegal alien on criminal charges, we encourage them to forward those suspicions to ICE, where we will make the appropriate determination whether that person is in the country legally or illegally, and whether he is deportable," Rusnok said.

The relationship between Cazares and Thomas had long been rocky, with Thomas seeking restraining orders in 2007 and again early last year. Marion County prosecutor Tom Redington said the first order was dismissed when Thomas failed to appear at a court hearing; the second was dismissed at her request.

Thomas made a third attempt around Thanksgiving and obtained a restraining order that was supposed to keep Cazares away from the small brick duplex where she lived with their 20-month-old son and a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Yet neighbors said they often saw Cazares in the area.

"We pulled up one night and he drives up the street with his car lights off and just sits there watching her house," said neighbor Charles Thomas, who is not related to the victim.

In early February, Thomas told police she thought Cazares was stalking her. White-Masengill said her sister played cell phone messages for police, including one in which he said, "No one can love you like I do."

Redington said he didn’t have Cazares arrested immediately because of the "on-again, off-again nature of their relationship." He asked Thomas to obtain records that would show that Cazares had been calling her, but she never got the records.

According to court records, Cazares offered the following a

And yet another soild reason to DEPORT ILLEGALS.

Had the government done thier job this ILELGAL INVADER would not have killed these pepoe.

If I was the victims family I would file suit against the US Government for failing to uphold the immigration laws.
